It might just be as simple as Brexit is a crap idea, and you can't polish a turd. Yes people voted for it, but for all the wrong reasons e.g. Immigration, some false sense of being patriotic.... People will vote for any change or blame anything if they're unhappy with their lot or want to stick to the establishment/govt. of the day. Unfortunately most of them are going to be much worse off as a result.

One of the many turds you can’t polish is the EU. Hence the referendum result. I thinkthat immigration was a major issue for some of the “unwashed” if I might call them that. I never had a problem with free movement of Labour; I did/do have a problem with successive guvmins not putting infrastructure in to service the increase in population, their children and grandchildren. This is the big failing of all recent guvmins.

That incompetence and short term political thinking is what is doing us over now.
